Several glyph forms for the Klingon alphabet are extant. The Qo'noS font,
designed for Star Trek: The Motion Picture by the Astra Image
Corporation, is the standard font used by the Klingon Language Instutute

relationship to tlhIngan Hol or to the Qo'noS font.)

Klingon has an alphabet of 26 characters, a positional numeric writing
system with 10 digits, and is written left-to-right, top-to-bottom.
Punctuation appears to be only used in Latin transliteration. The standard
